to design equipment and facilities to dry, preserve and process pomegranates, it is necessary to know their specific heat and thermal conductivity. the objectives of this study were to determine the specific heat and thermal conductivity of pomegranates and develop mathematical estimation models for them. the effects of moisture content (15-75% w.b.) and temperature (5-20°c) on the thermal prop...

In this research, IR and frontier molecular orbital computations were employed for investigating the influence of B12N12 on the energetic and thermodynamic parameters of TATB. The Computed enthalpy changes and Gibbs free energy variations showed TATB interaction with this nanostructure is exothermic, spontaneous and experimentally possible. The specific ...

Exact relation for contributions to heat capacity of liquids is obtained from hydrodynamic theory. It is shown from analysis of the long-wavelength limit of heat density autocorrelation functions that the heat capacity of simple liquids is represented as a sum of two contributions due to "phonon-like" collective excitations and heat relaxation. The ratio of both contributions being the analogy ...

The interaction of the TATA-box binding protein from the thermophilic and halophilic archaea Pyrococcus woesei (PwTBP) with an oligonucleotide containing a specific binding site is stable over a very broad range of temperatures and ionic strengths, and is consequently an outstanding system for characterising general features of protein-DNA thermodynamics. In common with other specific protein-D...

the aim of this study was to determine heat stress effect on physical capacity of semi-professional footballers in iran by means of oxygen consumption measurement, heart rate monitoring and wbgt assessment environmental conditions.this study compared two different thermal environmental conditions related to sub-maximal exercise and its effect on human physical capacity. thirty two male football...

The object of the present paper is to study temperature distribution and thermal stresses of a functionally graded thick hollow cylinder with temperature dependent material properties. All the material properties except Poisson’s ratio are assumed to be dependent on temperature. The nonlinear heat conduction with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity is reduced t...

There is no consensus on the effect of nanoparticle (NP) addition on the specific heat capacity (SHC) of fluids. In addition, the predictions from the existing model have a large discrepancy from the measured SHCs in nanofluids. We show that the SHC of the molten salt-based alumina nanofluid decreases with reducing particle size and increasing particle concentration. The NP size-dependent SHC i...
